Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry kept George W. Bush on the defensive today, telling a Pittsburgh audience that the president had allowed the long-dormant Mount St. Helens to erupt on his watch and promising to “fix the volcano once and for all” if elected in November.

Kerry said that Bush had refused to keep an eye on the troubling increase in volcanic activity at Mount St. Helens because he was “totally obsessed with Iraq.”
“I’ve got news for George Bush, ” Kerry said. “Saddam Hussein isn’t erupting. Mount St. Helens is erupting.”
After accusing Bush of being “in denial” about “the molten magama [sic] stewing inside that sucker,” Bush fired back, saying that it would be “sending the wrong message” to say that Mr. St. Helens was erupting.
